Man this week has gone fast! I can't believe it's Friday today! Still, with the coming of today, and the first of the month (pinch and a punch and all that), came my first pay...envelope. Woo! It's not the highest paying job but it's still super exciting to get an envelope of money! However, it does now present me with a bit of a difficult decision; spend or save? Who knows which way it'll go. Anyhoo, slightly bland day. Took Metta to school, came back did some stuff, picked her up, played, took her to dance and back, had dinner. Woop woop! Still, to make up for Friday day, this Friday night I am doing...nothing.Among the "stuff" that I did today was painting pictures on the pieces of wood I prepared yesterday. Most of them were ok, but somehow my picture of a dog turned out like a cat-kangaroo. Still, what child wouldn't want a picture of the very rare cat-kangaroo? I also did a picture of a church here in Cortona called Santa Margherita

. (It's very beautiful and now I have something to do on one day because I want to go see it). Somehow my picture of a fairly complex church facade turned out more accurate than my drawing of a simple dog, but c'est la vie!Metta has dance at 5.15 which is about the time the sun sets at the moment. Thus, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to take a picture of this sunset I've hyped up so much. So, I set out with my camera and, after relieving myself of Metta, I went of to a prime spot to take my picture. It was cloudy. I swear to God, getting a picture of this sunset is like trying to find the end of a rainbow. Or justify the 70s fashion. Impossible. Still, unlike discovering leprechauns with pots of gold and thinking flared trousers are a good idea, I WILL get this sunset in photo form. Saturday tomorrow. 13 grueling- I mean super fun- non-stop hours of kids. Wish me luck.Ciao
